    Apple admits to intentionally slow down your iphone

    My only problem is all those people who are forced to sell/trade/upgrade their phones because of the perceived slowness (legacy hardware/software incompatibility, etc) only now facing the realization that it was done on purpose without user consent. What will happen to those people?

    Is Microsoft retarded?

    Don't ever go into business, OP.

    Where do you think the next war will be?

    If net neutrality is dismantled, the next War will be fought digitally.

    MLB world series, no one watching?

    The balls are juiced, guys (in that it's smoother). Stop questioning whether it is or not. It's been confirmed by other teams in the postseason, by both the dodgers & Astros and more importantly the pitchers themselves. Only people who are denying are MLB officials themselves, diverting the...

    Pixel 2 Stuff

    I know they did it recently with the 6P, but from an economy of scale perspective, it would make more sense for them to give you a new (current) model than replacing it with the old one. It costs a tremendous amount of overhead to overproduce something just to keep a stockpile of them for RMA...

    Good on Google. So basically you get to use the pixel 2XL worry-free for the next 2yrs and "replace" it with a 3 or 4XL at no cost... (as that's how Google handle replacements)

    Pixel 2 Stuff

    That's nowhere remotely close to being the solution to the problem lol. I like to swipe, pick up/put down my stuff, etc at a moment's notice and not have to shimmy things from a dock. I'm at a point in my life where hardware features are more important than software. I don't want my house to...

    Pixel 2 Stuff

    Had a pretty good play time with the 2XL at best buy today and immediately turned off by the color shift/blue tint. My phone sits on my desk most of the time so I like to glance at it for messages and notifications and it was a lot worse then the LCD on my Huawei mate 8. Can't imagine paying...

    Ordered a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, user review coming soon

    I gotta say, that's an okay SOT for a phone who sits idle. What's the SOT you ended up with before it had to be plugged in?

    Windows Phone is Officially Dead

    Lest we forget that they charge high-end prices for mid-range to low-end specs. They neither supported their OS (and core apps) or pay too much attention on the hardware front, both of which led to their downfall.

    ...or you know, make a cardboard cut out based on the dimension spec.

    Pixel 2 Stuff

    The same reason why I'm not getting one. I get this whole focus on AI+software+hardware synergy but it seems like just another device to fulfill their portfolio and not the breakthrough like the Nexus 6 was. I'm not about to drop $1k for a software-optimized camera. I'd say it'll be a few...

    98 DxO score... Yikes!

    Pixel 2 Stuff

    I think the whole stock experience is hyperbolically overblown IMO. This isn't your early Nexus series where there's a noticeable difference between skinned and non-skinned UI. Hell, I've been using Huawei's EMUI for the past 3 years and putting my phone through the ringer every single day and...

    HTC One M9 - Stuck in bootloader (this build is for development)

    Looks like someone didn't heed that "FLASHING ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK! DO BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!11!" warning and went on with it anyway.
